Introduction
The integrity of chemicals is essential for their safe and effective use. When chemicals are stored improperly, they can degrade, become contaminated, or even react with each other to form dangerous compounds. This can pose a significant risk to people, property, and the environment.
Panel tanks offer a reliable solution for the storage of chemicals in Australia. Panel tanks are prefabricated tanks made from durable materials such as glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or steel. They are designed to protect the integrity of stored chemicals by providing a strong, leak-proof barrier and a controlled environment.
How panel tanks ensure chemical integrity
Panel tanks ensure chemical integrity in a number of ways, including:
- Material composition: Panel tanks are made from materials that are resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation. This prevents the stored chemicals from reacting with the tank material or degrading over time.
- Construction: Panel tanks are constructed to be leak-proof. This prevents the stored chemicals from escaping and contaminating the environment or reacting with other chemicals.
- Environmental control: Panel tanks can be equipped with environmental control features such as temperature control and ventilation. This helps to maintain a stable environment for the stored chemicals, which reduces the risk of degradation and contamination.
Benefits of using panel tanks for chemical storage in Australia
In addition to ensuring the integrity of stored chemicals, panel tanks offer a number of other benefits for chemical storage in Australia, including:
- Durability: Panel tanks are made from durable materials that can withstand the harsh Australian conditions. This makes them ideal for storing chemicals in a variety of environments, including remote locations and extreme temperatures.
- Longevity: Panel tanks have a long lifespan of up to 50 years. This makes them a cost-effective solution for chemical storage over the long term.
- Versatility: Panel tanks can be used to store a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, solvents, fertilizers, and pesticides. This makes them a versatile storage solution for businesses in a variety of industries.
- Scalability: Panel tanks can be scaled to meet the specific needs of any application. This means that businesses can choose the right size tank for their chemical storage requirements, regardless of the size of their operation.
- Safety features: Panel tanks can be equipped with a number of safety features to protect people and the environment from harm, including secondary containment systems, ventilation, and level monitoring systems.
Case study: Panel tanks used for reliable storage of chemicals in Australian mine
A mining company in Western Australia was looking for a reliable solution for the storage of chemicals on its mine site. The company chose to use panel tanks from Raven Engineering Group due to their durability, longevity, versatility, scalability, and safety features.
Raven Engineering Group designed and installed a number of panel tanks at the mine site to store a variety of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents. The tanks were equipped with secondary containment systems, ventilation, and level monitoring systems to protect people and the environment from harm.
The mining company has been very satisfied with the performance of the panel tanks. The tanks have proven to be durable and reliable, even in the harsh Australian conditions. The company has also saved money on chemical storage costs since switching to panel tanks.
Conclusion
Panel tanks offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for the storage of chemicals in Australia. Panel tanks are made from durable materials, they are versatile and scalable, and they can be equipped with a number of safety features to protect people and the environment from harm.

Additional tips for ensuring chemical integrity
In addition to using panel tanks for chemical storage, there are a number of other things that businesses can do to ensure the integrity of their stored chemicals, including:
- Store chemicals in a cool, dark place. This will help to prevent the chemicals from degrading.
- Keep chemicals away from heat sources and ignition sources. This will reduce the risk of fires and explosions.
- Label all chemical containers clearly. This will help to ensure that staff know what chemicals are being stored and the risks associated with each chemical.
- Inspect chemical storage tanks regularly. This will help to identify any potential problems, such as leaks or corrosion.
- Develop and implement a chemical management plan. This plan should identify the chemicals being stored, the risks associated with each chemical, and the procedures to be followed in the event of a spill or leak.
By following these tips, businesses can help to ensure the integrity of their stored chemicals and protect people, property, and the environment from harm.
